                                              The planning process is simple. When you join CCMS you are asked to write down your preferences for the type of funeral you want:;  burial or cremation, and the many other options that would confront your survivors.  Members are encouraged to discuss their preferences with their loved ones.  Doing so will result in fewer questions and arguments among the survivors.  Preplanning does not mean you must prepay your funeral plan.  Members may prepay  if they  wish to freeze the cost of their funeral at today’s prices, regardless of when the funeral might take place.

                                              Membership must be purchased before death occurs. So, we encourage you to purchase your membership today while it is not a pressing issue to you or your family.

                                              Considerations

                                              • Membership is not activated until payment is received. 
                                              • At the time of pre-purchase or following a member's funeral, an administration fee of $25 is charged by the funeral home.
                                              • Membership is transferable to other similar memorial societies throughout Canada.  There is usually a nominal fee charged by the receiving society to cover the cost of transfer.
